Optoma is hoping to steal the show at ISE 2016 by announcing the “world’s first 4K HLD projector,” which promises to offer industry leading color accuracy and detail that will wow just about any projector novice or expert alike.

HLD stands for high lumen density. The technology promises to boost the brightness and color performance of a standard LED projector by three times.

This isn’t Optoma’s first outing of an HLD projector. In June 2015, the company partnered with Philips to offer the world’s first 1080p HLD projector, but at ISE 2016 it is cranking that up a notch by increasing the resolution to 4K.

“HLD technology will enable a new generation of far brighter LED DLP projectors with industry leading color performance and accuracy,” says Justin Halls, head of visual system solutions and technical services at Optoma. “Optoma is proud to be leading the way and introducing it to the home cinema market in 2016.”

Both Philips and Texas Instruments have been involved in the creation of Optoma’s latest projector.

“Optoma is always striving to embrace new technology and engage in bespoke installations and projects,” says Len Carlton, managing director of Optoma EMEA. “The ProScene solutions, designed for the Pro AV market and new 4K and HLD products are recognition of this. We are excited to unveil our latest developments in projection technology.”

The world’s first 4K HLD projector isn’t the only thing Optoma is showing off at ISE 2016. In fact, the company split its stand into five distinct zones: 4K, HLD, corporate and education, ProScene solutions and home.
